Stadtlandschaften verdichten

→ Test planning for the following developments:
Schauenberg, Lerchenberg and Lerchenrain, all in Zurich;  Sonnhalde in Adlikon, Regensdorf; Grabenacker and Geissacker in Winterthur

This workbook is the first comprehensive guide enabling planners and monument conservators and local authorities, town councils, cooperatives, building developers and owners to preserve their qualities when densifying post-war developments. In addition to considerations of building development, the book also accounts for aspects of landscape planning and garden monument preservation.
The publication presents approaches that – based on the existing developments – allow planners to define individual goals with respect to preservation that can serve as guidelines in the course of planning densification measures. It thus offers valuable assistance for identifying and preserving the individual and often unique character of these developments. At the same time, the planning parameters described in the book enable meaningful densification.
